Where is a good starting point for real estate investing education?

[Jerome Adams]

Hi,
A new member who wanted to say hello and introduce myself from new jersey. Being a college student with very few resources, I'm glad I found this website right before I laid the last of my money out for a very expensive bootcamp! With that being said and going through the articles and forums, would you say that it would be more valuable to understand how markets work and their respective cycles rather than focusing all your energy on a specific tactic or strategy? Just wanted to make my education process smarter not harder. Thanks again BP
